Hi Patrick,

Assuming you're talking about a model phased map:

1. cif -> mtz (replace PDBID as appropriate):

phenix.cif_as_mtz PDBID.sf --use-model=PDBID.pdb \ --output-file-name=PDBID.mtz

2. calculate Fc by running refmac (or cns, or phenix.refine) with 0 cycles of refinement.

3. map calculation (the labin line may change depending on the program you've used for step 2 and the map type you're looking to calculate - FWT, PHWT are refmac coefficients for typical 2mFo - dFc ):

fft hklin YourZeroCycleOutput.mtz mapout density_asu.ccp4 << eof
labin F1=FWT PHI=PHWT
xyzlim asu
end
eof

Hope this helps; feel free to ask more questions if I've made things more confused (rather than less).

Pete

HI,

Does anyone have a step by step guide to go from a structure factor file from 
the PDB to a CCP4 map (understandable to a biologist)  like the one I can 
download on the electron density server?

I am confused and my attempts at using CCP4 keeps coming up with "failed"

Thanks
Patrick
